The Importance of Finding the Best Shampoo for Your Pup:
You may be lured to use human-grade shampoo on your dog for the sake of convenience. The challenge is, human-grade shampoo isn't designed for use on anything other than your scalp and hair. Dogs have distinct hair and skin needs that call for shampoos and conditioners with certain formulations such as dry skin relief, insect-repelling properties, or even dry coat cleansers for the times when you can't give your dog a complete bath.
Think about the idea that your dog is ikely to roll in the garbage, pick up fleas or ticks, or get dry, itchy patches, and it quickly becomes evident why you really need coat products that are created to deal with these challenges. Human-grade shampoo won't have the correct components to de-scent, treat dryness, or eliminate unwanted hitchhikers. At Great Dogs of Great Falls, we stock a variety of dog grooming products that satisfy your needs to keep your dog smelling great and looking good.
Dog coats come in an array of textures with hair follicles ranging from pin straight to tight curls. Therefore, it's vital to use the right brushes and combs for your dog's coat. Some dogs grow compact undercoats while others have almost no undercoat whatsoever. All coats require the best kind of brush to decrease pulling out healthy hair and prevent skin injury. Your dog may take pleasure in a good scratching with the brush, or they may be thin-skinned and need the lightest of touches.
